Never remove the water tank cap while the machine is switched on and without
first performing the steam release procedure. Large amounts of steam will be
released which can cause burns.
If you are at all concerned about performing the steam release procedure switch the
machine off and wait for it to cool completely.
1. Switch the machine off by pressing the power on/off button.
2. Switch off at the mains supply and remove the plug from the mains socket.
3. Remove the milk tank from the machine.
4. Turn the control dial to CLEAN/GO!
5. The pressurized steam will be released from the nozzle. There will be a large amount
of steam that will continue to be released for a minute or so.
6. When the steam release has finished very carefully remove the water tank cap.
There may still be a small amount of steam left in the water tank so loosen the cap
slowly and let any steam escape before removing completely.
